Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast turned down million for it's

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: exclusive podcast running Us. Welcome to another edition of the

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Heads is

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: coming to you from a virtual room filled with some heroes.

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Greg Rosenthal, What is up? Boys? Flagship show,

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Big Show, Big Week, great early games. But I do

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: want to say before we move on, if anyone's listening

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: that wants to pay us even a fraction of that

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: sort of money, like, come at us with an offer,

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: because that was untrue. What what Matt Rismith said, we

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: might very quickly agree to. Uh, I'm at I'm a

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: far truncated deal. Yes, it's all about leverage. We have

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: zero leverage right now. What we're looking for is leverage. Um,

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: ha ha, funny, funny, funny. Yes, Week seven Sunday in

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: the books and uh a bit of a wild Sunday. Uh,

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: some surprising outcomes, some blowouts in the late portion of

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: the Sunday schedule. But we are down to two undefeated

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: teams now one winless team unfortunately, a team that I

19
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: identify with very closely. And um, some interesting football to

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: go over, Greg, what do you think about today's football?

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: I mean, um, when you can assign yourself Washington versus

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Dallas in Detroit, Atlanta early, it's like you've got your

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: finger on the pulse of what's happening in the NFL.

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean I did, I did. I made a trade

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: with Chuck Who's gonna come on later. Um, but no,

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it was a fun day, like when it's like when

27
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the Jets gave the Colts seventy seven second round picks

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald. You know. Sometimes Greg texted me on

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: after our our network show. I'm saying I would really like, Um,

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want to watch the Saints game. I don't

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: know why, I just I just wanted to watch. Well,

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: he went and suggested that he switched with Shook, and

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: I said, absolutely, like reach out to Shook and do

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: the legwork. And then he's like, well, now, actually I

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: don't think I want to do that. I'm overthinking it.

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: That we never spoke again, and then he tells me

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: this morning that, you know, the Backwater channels were a

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: buzz as Gregg is trading with Shook games without an

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I changed my mind again. You know, you guys go

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: like more in detail, you charge these games. Mark kept

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: it going. I had already I edited out. I'm not

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: touching it. Oh no, this is gold Greg. Remember when

43
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: remember when the the you know, our analytics expert here,

44
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to even name him because I'm kind

45
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: of mocking it here now is like, you know, make

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: sure no matter what you do, it's like the first

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: five minutes of the show, don't lose them with some

48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: jibber jabber, Like get right into the big stuff. That's

49
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: when you lose that audience. Mission accomplished. Whenever we have

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: like thirteen games to talk about, if we can just

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: like bury the audience of seven minutes of jibber jabber,

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Nick Shook is coming later.

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: Uh he of the big trade win over Rosenthal. Uh

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. But let's get going with Yes,

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: the matchup in Nashville between two undefeated's. It's do or

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: die for the Titans who have one time out in

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: their pocket. Doskowski in this range this year. As he

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: kicks it on its way, the kick is white right,

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: it is all right. Wow, I can't even hardly believe it.

60
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: But a nice Midwestern sound that was Bill Hill Grove

61
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: tounch Ilkin with a call W D. V e. Hey, listen,

62
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. The Titans

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: badly outplayed the Steelers in the second half on Sunday,

64
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: but a slow start coupled with the latest high profile

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: failure by Stephen Kaskowski, allowed the Steelers to escape with

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: a When Pittsburgh is six and oh for the first

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: time since nine and now stand with the Seahawks as

68
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the only remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, um boys, Uh,

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: strange game here because it's Steelers win the coin toss.

70
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: They go on a nine minute, eighteen second drive ends

71
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: with Deante Johnson touchdown. Uh, they get a three and out.

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh does get the ball back, score another touch on

73
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: it's fourteen. Zip. They're in complete control. It gets by

74
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter it's seven, and you know, my I

75
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: start wandering. I'm saying, oh, what's going on in the NFL?

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: Marx Browns are having some fun with the Bengals, like,

77
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden, the Titans start doing

78
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: the Titan thing and they get back into the game,

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: and uh, they fall short because Gaskowski can't hit a

80
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: kick that he's got a hit in that spot. So

81
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: that's where we're at the Steelers. To me, um, as

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: good as they looked in the first half, the second

83
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: half was a little bit concerning. But listen, you can't

84
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: take away what they did in those first two quarters.

85
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger looked really good in the first have did

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: not look very good in the second half. James Conner

87
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: is really doing good things for them. Uh this season.

88
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: I've really been impressed by him so far this year.

89
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: And um, the defense was able to make enough stops

90
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't their best effort to get the W.

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: So the Steelers moved to six. And oh the Titans,

92
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: they're kicking themselves because they had a golden opportunity here,

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: uh for a huge comeback and want to come back.

94
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: That would have been down twenty seven seven to the

95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: mighty Steelers. It didn't happen, and they're they're the reason

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: they lost third downs. Titans were unable to stop the

97
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: Steelers on third downs. Pittsburgh thirteen of eighteen third downs

98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: in the game, and they only had the ball for

99
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: one minute and twenty one seconds in the first quarter.

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: So keeping the offensive field was huge for Pittsburgh. I

101
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: thought they took in the in the first half, Tennessee

102
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: out of the game, and you know, this is a

103
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: team that's played three games in thirteen days, and it

104
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: showed a little bit. I thought, UM early on here,

105
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: but we've talked about Big Ben's various troubles on on

106
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: deep shots down the field, but what he's doing very

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: well is carving defenses up mid range. And I think

108
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: that they just this just strikes me as the most

109
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: complete team, UM in the a f C and maybe

110
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: in the league, because of what they can do on defense.

111
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: But also you know, they got one catch from Chase

112
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Claypool today and so in return, you know, Deonte Johnson

113
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: steps up. You mentioned James Conner. I thought, you know,

114
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: he's been up and down, but he made big plays

115
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: for them. And Tennessee to come back from a seven

116
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to seven deficit the way they did, um, I thought

117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: it was impressive. You know, Gauskowski has been a real

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride, a true adventure, and you got the

119
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: dip today. UM, the ugly part of that. But to me,

120
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee this doesn't take the shine off of who they

121
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: are and what they want to be. They just had

122
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: a first half where they played un characteristically. I mean,

123
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: I think they had like thirty yards on the ground

124
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: well the last two weeks for Guskoski, So that's something

125
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to think about. I know he

126
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: hit a big kick at the end of the game,

127
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: but he had his struggles last week. I see this

128
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: as as a Steelers defense game, even in the second half.

129
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: The fact that you know, they got the ball on

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: a Ben interception and then the Steelers defense shuts down Tennessee.

131
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: That was one of six drives, so to Tennessee. At

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: ten drives in this game, on six of them, they

133
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a first down. I mean that. I know

134
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: they scored some points on the other drives, but it's

135
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and the Titans are awesome. They only end up with

136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: fifteen first downs on the day. If you have six

137
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: drives where you go three and out or four and

138
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: out like some of those drives were. I mean, that's

139
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive, and you would expect the Steelers to

140
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: take care of business when they do that. Yeah, I

141
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: was really excited to um do like a reverse when

142
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: middle dunk on your Ben Roethlisberger game manager assassination from

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: Thursday Show, Greg and after the first four two weeks ago,

144
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I'm not painting it as negative as you saying.

145
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's kind of the style they're playing.

146
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I know, but through four four drives against an undefeated

147
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: Titans team on the road, Pittsburgh had put up twenty

148
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: four points and Ben was seventeen of twenty four for

149
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: one sixty and two touchdowns. Deep shots or are they Johnson?

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think short and mid mid reign shots. Yes,

151
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: So that's kind of his his game, which I guess

152
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: is to your point of the big breeze uh moniker

153
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: that you've tagged him with as well. The rest of

154
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the game after those first four drives, three points fifteen

155
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: and uh three interceptions. The first pick was just you know,

156
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: threw it up for grabs at the end of the

157
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: first half, but the last two were definitely on him.

158
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: Although the third pick, the one that's set up the

159
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Titans to nearly tie the game, was Juju Smith Schuster

160
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: in coverage against the linebacker, you know, running around against

161
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: the linebacker, couldn't get any separation. I don't know what's

162
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: going on with Juju. Is he just not a guy

163
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: that separates? I don't know, but Ben put it in

164
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: a really good spot um, but Juju, the coverage was

165
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: so tight that he couldn't like hold onto the ball

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: and it got knocked out of his hand ends and

167
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: then picked off on the deflection. So nice win for

168
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers. But also, you know, the shot of Big

169
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Ben on the sideline after Gaskowski went wide right was

170
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: one of we got away with one here, because that

171
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: could have been a killer loss. But they escape it,

172
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: and uh man, they're looking good. I think we're gonna

173
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: get to the Bucks in a bit. Mark. That's my

174
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: pick for the most balanced team in the league right now.

175
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: But the Steelers when things are clicking right as they

176
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: were early in this game, it is a reminder that

177
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: their tops gear is pretty much ahead of everybody else.

178
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I think in a f C maybe the Chiefs have

179
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: something to say about that. Let's move on. In the backfield,

180
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: two receivers left, one a right, may feel back to

181
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: pass looks going towards the end zone and it's caught

182
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: by down petals. Joe touched down. Hey got it, Hey

183
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: got it. The Rocky fromfis got it back. Children throw

184
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: unbelievable catch, unbelievable throw. Jim Donovan and Doug Deacon w

185
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: k r K. I can't believe Donovan People's Jones is

186
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a real name. Like I'm I'm thrilled that that there's

187
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: a person that goes by that name. It's like that

188
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: old Key and Peel sketch, Like that's what that name

189
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: sounds like. But he made a name for himself today,

190
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield hits Donovan People's Jones. Also the name you also,

191
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: you always have to say the full names. It's so

192
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: wild with eleven seconds to play, ceiling a wild one

193
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: win over the Bengals. This also featured after that play,

194
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: Hail Mary that very nearly completed. That would have been

195
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: a fitting way to a wild game. Mark. Per the

196
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Elias Sports Bureau, this is the first game in NFL

197
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: history with five go ahead touchdown passes in the fourth

198
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: quarter by the two teams. Mark the Cardiac kids are back. Yeah,

199
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: it's um. It was. It was a game of two.

200
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: It was two sides of a coin for Cleveland because

201
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, you know, and he has had his troubles

202
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: in the last couple of contests. We know that started

203
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: over five and for the second game in a row,

204
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: through an interception on the first play and and that

205
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: brought more news because on that play Odell Beckham. One

206
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: of the reasons Donovan People's jones was, you know in

207
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: there at the end, was that Odell Beckham went down

208
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. That Ian Rappaport has Um put

209
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: a tweet out saying he'll get an m R. I

210
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: but the concern is that it's very serious, and I

211
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: think we usually know how those go when we get

212
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: those Sunday reports. He was out of the game immediately,

213
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: um Baker when he hit it, missed his first his

214
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: fifth pass. I tweeted out because at that point Joe

215
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: Burrow looked lights out. And we've been seeing it week

216
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: after week. That is Cleveland, okay, with having the fourth

217
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the a f C North, and then

218
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: and then he the last week or so. I'm not

219
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: really jumping ship. Just look at the other quarterbacks in

220
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: the division. I mean, I I don't think he's the

221
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: equal of Joe Burrow, but Um, perhaps psychically to lash

222
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: me and and to shut me up. He completed twenty

223
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: one passes in a row to finish the game before

224
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: spiking the ball um on the at the end, and uh,

225
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: he looked good. He looked good throwing the ball. I

226
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: thought today, Um, he made some money throws. And on

227
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: that final drive what what what to me looked like

228
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: growth was they had no time outs and he had

229
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: to go you know, near length of the field with

230
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: no time outs and and it wouldn't have happened without

231
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: some insane catches along the way. Um, you know Rashad Higgins,

232
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: who Richard Higgins, who has shown chemistry with Baker Mayfield

233
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: two years ago then last year was out of the loops,

234
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: seemed to be in the doghouse with the coaches. Has

235
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: come on um again and he and he's a big

236
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: part of that passing attack and he's gonna need to be.

237
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna be without Odell Beckham. I wanted to see

238
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: what would happen with a thin receiving corps once he

239
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: went down, and I thought they showed perhaps more chemistry

240
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: than they have through the air and really any other game.

241
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Um, I'd want to

242
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: go watch that again. But another hair prison Bryant and

243
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: today is I just found this out today with one

244
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: of the more absurd um holidays that seems completely created

245
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: out of finnair. It's tight end day apparently, Um, George

246
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: Kittle made it up. So is it for Please tell

247
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: me it's for a charity, because I I stomached it

248
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: today because I was like, it must be for a cause.

249
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: But if it wasn't for a cause, I am furious. Yeah.

250
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Now kiddo came up with it last year, and I

251
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: think they just they ran. If it's for a cause,

252
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's for you know, George Kittle's personal enjoyment,

253
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: that's what it is, right, but here to celebrate such

254
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: a day. Um, Harrison Bryant, the rookie who we've talked

255
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: about on the show before who looks legit. Um two touchdowns,

256
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper was out with a pendicitis Uh, David and

257
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Joeku caught a past. You have to touchdown past. You

258
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: have to wonder if it's the last action he will

259
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: get in Cleveland. He's on the trade block. Um. I

260
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: can't say enough about Joe Burrow. I just thought that

261
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: there were Um, there was one play that really Uh

262
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: it was third and eleven and Joe Burrow um took

263
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: off on a run and it just like Cleveland defend.

264
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense is a disaster and defended it poorly and

265
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: he ran for a first down, but he made froze

266
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: all over the field and their offensive line was banged

267
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: up to at one point Jonah Williams went out with

268
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: a neck injury. Um Trey Hopkins, their center was out,

269
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: and it showed I mean that that it's they had issues.

270
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: Um In Borrow, like he does week after week, made plays.

271
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's fair still to say that Baker Mayfield,

272
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: in a very good division, is the quarterback looking up

273
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: at the rest of these. But this was sort of

274
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: a well it's different, you know, if it's Thursday night

275
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: football and like I am able just to go, you know,

276
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: sitting do that. I I mistakenly thought that I was

277
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: covering Pittsburgh, Tennessee and was tracking that heavily the entire time,

278
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: taking all these notes, and I'm discovered two minutes into

279
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: the show that I had completely botched that and I

280
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: had made a mistake. But anyways, um, I give Cleveland

281
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: credit for being five ways to figure it out in

282
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the show. I think it it out

283
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: four minutes ago. When you when you're um, when you're

284
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: intro to that game went on and on. I thought

285
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: he's at some point is Dan tossing this to me?

286
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: I was a communication issue this morning that I read incorrectly.

287
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: That's another it's another deep died that I'd like to

288
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: take us down and how our show is produced. But

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: I will I will stop there five and two, but

290
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: I you know, we'll get some of my radar teams

291
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: that have a clear ceiling. And I think Cleveland, this

292
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: is this is good progress. But they're not five and

293
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: two the same way that I look at UM other

294
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: five and two teams we've encountered. But they could be different.

295
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: You know, all these teams are gonna be different in December.

296
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I still really believe that, And so you you want

297
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: to be five and two with a chance to be

298
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: different and hopefully better in December, with Myles Garrett potentially

299
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: UM trying to get a Defensive Player of the Year

300
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: award in December. Every every game, like one of the

301
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: first things I do check the Brown's box score, and

302
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching this one is like, Okay,

303
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: did Myles Garrett get his forced fumble today? It's like, yeah,

304
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: he got it, and he got two sacks and another

305
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. And and in these games where there's

306
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: not a lot of defense, and the Browns don't have

307
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of defense. A lot of times it comes

308
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: down to Kent, do you have a guy that can

309
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: make one or two plays? And Garrett kind of makes

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: one or two huge plays every week, which is pretty awesome.

311
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: And not to the labor this point, but when we

312
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: had our discussion about the importance of sacks and getting

313
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: to the quarterbacks, and it was deemed that Jadeveon Clowney

314
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: doesn't need to get sacks, and by the way, he

315
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: still has zero sacks this season. He's struggling. He's not

316
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: even getting his hurries this year. Listen, Miles Garrett is

317
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: an example why you could say stats is an overrated

318
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: stat or something. But that guy changes games because he

319
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: gets to the quarterback and he knocks the ball loose.

320
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: He's a big time player. You know what. The Browns

321
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: strike me as Mark, I see what you're saying with

322
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the ceiling, But they, to me, they feel like a

323
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: nine and seven team. Maybe a bounce goes their way

324
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: and they go ten and six, and they're playing in

325
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: January in the playoffs, and they're giving someone a hard

326
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: time on the road, like you're signing up for that

327
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: in a second. Right, absolutely, So I'm not I'm not

328
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: trying to be like, you know, covertly down on the

329
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: whole situation. I just I'm trying to view them the

330
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: same way that I viewed on the teams. Go be

331
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: a really good team. That's the next test for them.

332
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: But good job getting off the mat after last week.

333
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Ricky's not sitting at her desk. Uh

334
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: where we live? Maybe she lost her connection? She's now

335
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: she sat down, Now she got up again. Oh she's

336
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: had the connection. Uh, Ricky, we should keep all this in, Ricky,

337
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: come back to us, Ricky, what's happening? So you see

338
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: that guy that just walked in my window? He just

339
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: like he's my I guess just moved in next door.

340
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but he knocked on the door with

341
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: the pizza and he was like he kind of speaks

342
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: broken English. He's like, can you cut the pizza for me?

343
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Because I don't have anything? And I was like, oh,

344
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I can give you a knife quick, and then he

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: just asked like, what are you doing tonight? Like and

346
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: I just gave him like a freaking butcher knife and

347
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm home alone and I don't know he just he's

348
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: just knocked on my door and asked me to cut

349
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: his pizza. Like, what am I supposed to? I don't

350
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: want a strange man, Eric Erica. When a strange man

351
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: knocks on your door and your home alone and he

352
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: asked for something to cut with, you don't get your

353
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: biggest knife from the kitchen and give it to him.

354
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: This is like the skills one on one. Well, what

355
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: could have you done? Not answer the door? That would

356
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: be an He's literally knocking on my thing and I'm

357
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: like hot like and then he's like, can you cut

358
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: my pizza? And then he just asked when are you

359
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: going to be done? Like the show, Let's let's keep

360
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: the show moving. Let's close the curtains behind you because

361
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: right now he has a free view for whatever. All right,

362
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: where are we? Let's move on. Let's let's move on.

363
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: Alert Alert, Alert, or maybe asker is to call on

364
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: first and Chenna Jeff Wilson Jr. Back in takes the

365
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: wide run right, breaks a tackle five touchdown San fran

366
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: Cisco and that feels great, baby, Greg Papa Tim Ryan

367
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: with the call deadbolt that door, Ricky Hollywood. Jeff Wilson Jr.

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: Ran for a buck four team three touchdowns. Cam Newton

369
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: threw three picks before being bench for Jared Stindham in

370
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: the second half. The forty Niners cruise to a thirties

371
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: three to six win over the Patriots. New England falls

372
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: the two and four in what was the most lopsided

373
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: home loss of the Bill Belichick Eraic greg After the game,

374
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: The hood had One said that Cam Newton, quote absolutely

375
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: close quotes, will remain his starter. Should it be so definite? Yes,

376
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: because when Jared Stidham has played this year, he has

377
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: not looked any better, including in the in the cameo

378
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: in this game, I know it wasn't a lot of

379
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: tape um, and I just think this ceiling for this team,

380
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: especially offensively, you know it's not too high, but it's higher.

381
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: With Cam Newton getting out of this crazy funk that

382
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: he's in. You have to give the forty Niners defense credit. Um.

383
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: But Cam is as streaky a quarterback as I've ever

384
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: seen throwing the ball. I think that's been true his

385
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: entire career. And he came out and you could just

386
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: tell right away like he was off, like he was

387
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: missing guys. He's been holding the ball a ton the

388
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: last two weeks not seeing things clearly, and then when

389
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: he does pull the trigger, it's like his interception was

390
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: just you could almost see his mind like saying should

391
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: I throw this or not? Interception, missing receivers like that

392
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: was all bad and it wouldn't have mattered, like he

393
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: could have been the best Cam Newton today. And the

394
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: Patriots defense was never gonna get enough stops for them

395
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: to compete in this game. They were very lucky to

396
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: be only down at how off time. It was as

397
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: one sided varsity j V as any half I would

398
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: say of any two teams all year. The forty Niners

399
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: had eighteen first downs at halftime and the Patriots had

400
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: fifteen plays. And it's a reminder Kyle Shanahan not saying

401
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: that like he's a better head coach than Bill Belichick,

402
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: but if I I would rather have an offensive head

403
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: coach that can cook up magic with a whole bunch

404
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: of craziness and injuries rather than a defensive coach with

405
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: the game you know, with who can manage a game

406
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: and have certain things, but has a team with clear flaws.

407
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: Because Kyle Shanahan can still have these game plans where

408
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy g made a couple of nice plays early didn't

409
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: have to really do much, And it's a coaching game,

410
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: and their coaching was better. From a different perspective. Along

411
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: similar lines, maybe Kyle Shanahan has a better GM than

412
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, whose GM is Bill Belichick, Because it feels

413
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: like to me that the Chickens are coming home to

414
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: roost here with a roster that's talent deficient and a

415
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: quarterback that is at this stage of his career hot

416
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: and cold, and there's gonna be games like this when

417
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: a team comes in that has more talent than you,

418
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: that's well coached, that the Patriots maybe aren't special anymore,

419
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: and the fact that these games can happen for a

420
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: team that no longer has a legendary quarterback behind senator

421
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: to clean up the mess that no longer has UH

422
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: can beat you one on one on offense, that the

423
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: defense isn't special like it was for long stretches last year. Um,

424
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't like watching the I guess you're supposed to

425
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: be like Mark. Let me know if you agree. I

426
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: think you're supposed to be like watching the Patriots get

427
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: getting whipped in Foxborough and be like, I can't believe

428
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: this is happening. This is so weird, but none of

429
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: it felt surprising to me, So I didn't like take

430
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: any like Jet Miserable, Jet fan joy out of it

431
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: because it just made sense. The Patriots aren't very good. Well,

432
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it should surprise anyone who watched

433
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos Patriots game with the same cast of characters

434
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: and Julian Edelman Um in time for Halloween becoming a

435
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: complete ghost in an offense that has no direction, and

436
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: and you are fair making a fair point on the

437
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: GM side of things that a lot of this were

438
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: systemic issues a year ago for New England. You just

439
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady masking over things that I think someone

440
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: like Cam Newton um in a huge funk could not.

441
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: The defense massed over a lot of that last year,

442
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: so the defense falls through the floor. I mean, you've

443
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: got nothing to save you. And you know it's like

444
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Um, where I'd agree with you, Greg, is

445
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: that he's put up, he's placed. He's faced Belichick four

446
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: times and put up thirty an average of thirty points

447
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: on him. And that came by the way he had

448
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: him in the Super Bowl too. You can say whatever

449
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: you want about that game ended. They put up thirty

450
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, they put up enough points to win that game.

451
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew it would be a great duel

452
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: between I think two coaches that have like immen's respect

453
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: for each other. But the forty Niners have war parts

454
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: right now. They're pretty broken themselves. I mean, the minute

455
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson comes in and does a very Shanahan s

456
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: thing by running for a hundred and twelve yards and

457
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, Bang, he's being taken off on a cart.

458
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: They can't get healthy. But I would look at the

459
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Niners overall globally and say they've had a lot, you know,

460
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: maybe west of the Eagles. Their injury issues have been

461
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: um second to none, and they're winning games. I mean

462
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: the whip they took care of the Rams. Uh, they

463
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: absolutely decimated the Patriots today. That makes you think, um,

464
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: when they get healthy, when that time comes, Even with

465
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy g looking quite average to me, um at best,

466
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: I still give them a chance um to sneak into

467
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: the wild card. I do too, because I mean, look,

468
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: they've they've they put it on some teams, but they

469
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: lost Deebo Samuel at the end. Of this game in

470
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: a blowout was a tough spot. Um, I don't know

471
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: how serious that was. And you lost Wilson and the

472
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: reserves on defense like Sherman and d Ford and some

473
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: of the bigger name guys. They're coaching through it, but

474
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: they're probably not back for another month. Um, it's amazing

475
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: what they've done. I also think they're a terrible matchup

476
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: for the Patriots because that the Patriots can't stop the run,

477
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: and that's how Belichick's defense is normally start. They're so

478
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: slow at linebacker, I mean Bentley and Jennings, who's this

479
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: rookie like the outside zone like they they're set up

480
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: to stop some passing teams, and so I think the

481
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Bills next week, like that's sort of the Patriots last

482
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: stand in this division. They're set up to possibly stop

483
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: some passing teams, but they cannot stop the run and

484
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: they just run it so well. The Patriots, by the way,

485
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: also lost Joe Tuoney, their center in this game to

486
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: kill Harry had a concussion. You mentioned Edelman was in

487
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: and out. He's been so slow and injured this year.

488
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: He had two throws to him today. Both of those

489
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: throws were intercepted. Uh So, the Niners are now four

490
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: and three, and you just it's it's incredible how quickly

491
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: things have changed for them, because you know, they were

492
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: coming off loss to the Eagles in primetime, tough loss.

493
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: Then you get blown out seventeen GM G gets benched

494
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: and there's just like panic in the streets about the

495
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: fort with the schedule up ahead. Then they beat the

496
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Rams and the Patriots on the road. What lies ahead

497
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: And we'll dig into this more as the week goes along.

498
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: But at Seattle home Packers, at Saints, at Rams home,

499
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: Bills all coming up now, So they're not out of

500
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: the woods by any stretch, and at four and three,

501
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: they're very vulnerable to get knock kind of out of

502
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: this wild card race. And Jimmy G looked a lot

503
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: better today. I know they're two picks. One of them

504
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: was just you know, at the end of the half um.

505
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: But he did make three or four throws, including on

506
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: third and long. He looked like he was moving better.

507
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: Uh that he looked like Jimmy G kind of from

508
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen today. So they're gonna need that because

509
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: because they're so banged up. But man, they're they're so

510
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: uh talented even despite all the losses. You're right, I

511
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: mean that the Patriots have no players with juice that

512
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: are just gonna win one on one. Ricky, you are

513
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: still available to us. You're aw Yeah, you're still around.

514
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: Good God. We're gonna check in on you periodically, just

515
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: like what do they call those well being checks? Yeah? Um,

516
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: you are in your you know, mid to late twenties.

517
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: Lady never tells, so you've never known anything as a

518
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Patriots fan like this. How are you doing right now? Um?

519
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, as perfectly stated in the best football film

520
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: of our generation by Coach Boon and remember the Titans,

521
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: it would be perfect in every aspect. You drop a pass,

522
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: you run a mile, you miss a blocking assignment, you

523
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: run a mile, you make a fumble, I'll break my

524
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: foot off in your John Brown hind parts, and then

525
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: you will run a mile perfection. Well, you guys, the

526
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: Patriots will be running mile after mile today. What's happening? Okay?

527
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: All right? Think Dan set that up or something. Listen.

528
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to give her the floor. Hey, speaking of

529
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: um the demise of the Patriots um dynasty. What did

530
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: Zolac have to say when they pulled Newton out of

531
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: the game. Meanwhile, off the sideline for the Patriots incomes

532
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: number four in the blue jersey. Jarrett stood him quarter

533
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: too late, so no helmet, no ear piece on for

534
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. How does he know what playtist? Oh? Boy oh?

535
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: A hit piece on camp from Zolac. Well, they's like

536
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: coming very clear though that Patriots fans who have listened

537
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: to this show for um seven eight years are heading

538
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: into complete darkness. If if they're going to be dressed

539
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: up this way every time they stumble, it's gonna be

540
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: a long ride for those listeners. How did Zolac get

541
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: from here to here? Quarter too late? So no helmet,

542
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: no ear piece on for Cam Newton. How does he

543
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: know what playtist? I hate to hear it? How does

544
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: he know Cam totally checked out? All right, listen, this

545
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: is all I have. Let's move on. Brady Ball told

546
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: the quarter intel, Scotty Ller, it's got the ball. Touchdops

547
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Touchdouck Tampa Bay Bucketeers, Scotty Miller. Great throw

548
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: by Brady, Oh, Tom Brady, that guy Tom Brady kicked

549
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: him out the door. Gene Decker off with the call,

550
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: and that was one of the prettiest touchdown passes you'll

551
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: see all year, the Brady to Scotty Miller corner end

552
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: zone pass. Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, moving moving

553
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: him ahead of Drew Brees for number one on the

554
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: all time t D throw list for the time being.

555
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: As the Bucks battled then pulled away from the Raiders,

556
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: Sizzler Watching Brady today, he looked vintage. He looked like

557
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: a master of his craft. You know, the Bucks might

558
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: be the best team in the league if he's this guy,

559
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: I would agree. I mean, we can argue about the

560
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: most complete team, and I hear you with Tampa Bay, Um,

561
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: i'd give it to Pittsburgh in the a f C.

562
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: But one thing, Um, that we were always waiting for

563
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: with Brady in the Bucks offense was you know, it

564
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: was clear that in the first couple of weeks that

565
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: there were issues. Um, were they going to overcome them

566
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: or where that was? That just who they were? Well,

567
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: they're overcoming them, and you just feel this operation heating up, um,

568
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: And I think you could see it in the eyes

569
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. You could see it in the eyes

570
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: of Bruce Arians, who at one point came over and

571
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: just put an arm around his quarterback. I mean, Bruce

572
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: arians is having fun. I think I mentioned last year

573
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: that I thought he seemed like he had a bit

574
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: of a thousand yards stare didn't necessarily want to be

575
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: involved what what with what he was doing. That's not

576
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: the case now. And I mean, this is a game

577
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: where Mike ever bore there were you know what, that's fine,

578
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: it is absolutely I don't I don't really I not

579
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: claiming that that was a home run. Takes a guy

580
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: for Fox for a season or so. He didn't seem

581
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: to be having much fun doing that. He seemed checked

582
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: out for That was a checkout. That was a checkout.

583
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I was continuing at off of that, but this

584
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: was a game where Mike Evans was essentially not a

585
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: factor until the game was out of hand. Um, and

586
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: it just didn't matter. And it makes me wonder, you know,

587
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: we've there are the reports out there essentially they're they're

588
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: they're adding Antonio Brown, um and there are a variety

589
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: of responses to that move. But it's like, Okay, let's

590
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: see how you can squeeze Antonio Brown into a into

591
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: an offense where Rob Gronkowski starting to look better and

592
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: better every week. Scottie Miller is becoming exactly what you

593
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: thought he might be. With Tom Brady, Chris Godwin was

594
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: all over the place today. They get just enough from

595
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: their ground game when they need to. Uh, their offensive

596
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: line is playing well. Tom Brady is throwing the ball

597
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: as well as he has in years. Uh, he's totally

598
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: in a game like today when he was totally dialed in.

599
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: I actually have to give the Raiders credit for hanging around,

600
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: and they really did hang around in this game. There

601
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: was a backbreaking moment for Derek Carr and it was

602
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: they were at this point down I think it was

603
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty or so, but car got picked

604
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: by Antoine Winfield Jr. Who is becoming an awesome safety

605
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and that basically ended it because that

606
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: set up a quick short drive for the Bucks in

607
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones Um to pop him in for a touchdown.

608
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: That was two touchdowns and forty two seconds. The Raiders

609
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: were broken at that point. And I watched this Bucks team,

610
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: guys like Devin White on defense who had three sacks,

611
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: who had a play where he uh saw a a

612
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: a ball handler like seventeen yards away and just single

613
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: handedly sprinted at him and knocked him down. I mean

614
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: he blew up Derek Carr in a play where I

615
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: thought Derek Carr got hurt. Uh. It was one of

616
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: the better games in the second half by Devin White

617
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: that I've seen a defender player the year. It was

618
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: very impressive. So they are extremely complete. Uh, there aren't

619
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: There's not an overt weakness. And you just have to

620
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: look at the offense. Um. And I know that I

621
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, was I got for the way I phrased

622
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: as saying that they would score forty points on on

623
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: the leg. But I would just say that that you

624
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: see it now they can do it. Um, they are

625
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: that attack in everywhere. Well, they haven't had they haven't

626
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: been totally healthy. Now getting Godwin back his key to me, he's,

627
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, the second most valuable player on that on

628
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: that offense. And they're different. And now they add Antonio Brown.

629
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they knew they need Antonio Brown. You know,

630
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, listening to Bruce arians have to

631
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: answer the question that that well, if if Antonio Brown

632
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: did what he's accused of doing, which you know to

633
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: be clear as sexual assault and rape, Um, then then

634
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: the legal system will take care of that and he

635
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: won't be on the team. And I just I don't

636
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: like him being added to this mix right now in

637
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: arians answering questions like that after this game, because I

638
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: think it's unnecessary. I I lad uh my my debrief

639
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: column last week with the Bucks saying like this team

640
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: can win the Super Bowl. I mean, I think that

641
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: was I think that's an obvious take. I think they're

642
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL. I I'm not. I

643
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't need to see much more out of Brady. With

644
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: a good offensive line and the high quality of throws

645
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: he's been making, like he just needs to be a

646
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: top ten to twelve type of quarterback, they could be

647
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: even better than that even as an offense. I think

648
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: if if they do their best, but with this kind

649
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: of line and with this kind of defense, and and

650
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: with this kind of depth of playmakers, to me, they

651
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: are they are the They are the team. If I

652
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: had to pick one out of the NFC, they would

653
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: be my team. Yeah. And you saw what they did

654
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: in the final three quarters against the Packers last week

655
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: when they put it all together and just blew out

656
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: a very good Green Bay team and this game to me.

657
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: And I know he hasn't been this isn't this isn't

658
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: two thousand seven Tom Brady or anything, and he's not

659
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna throw fifty touchdowns, but the way he played today

660
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: was just to me. And I'll again mentioned the Scotty

661
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: Miller touchdown past. I mean just the way he's moving

662
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: the pocket, the confidence he's playing there, to the accuracy

663
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: that he's throwing the ball with the zip that he's

664
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: throwing the ball with um, he's playing unbelievable. And you know,

665
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: with the Antonio Brown situation, there's the component of it

666
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: with the off the field issues and the criminal behavior,

667
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: alleged criminal behavior, which is messy, and that's that's a

668
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: separate conversation. But I think in terms of team building,

669
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a no brainer. Uh, In terms of building

670
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: your roster out. I know they have three really good

671
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers and Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Scottie Miller, but

672
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: Miller has been banged up, Godwin's misstime, Evans hasn't been healthy.

673
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: You never know how this sport works. It's a war

674
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: of attrition. So if you get Antonio Brown in the

675
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: mix and he is on the field and making plays

676
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: he's going to, I think make this offense better. I

677
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: understand why they did it from a team building standpoint,

678
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: but it's obviously fair to get on them for uh

679
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: some of the moral implications of bringing out a player

680
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: like Brown. I would also note that arians after the

681
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: game was said that the decision to bring on Antonio Brown.

682
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: He said, Tom had nothing to do with this. Now,

683
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy a word of that

684
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: now two years like he even said he like admits

685
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: how much he lies to the media. He says, it's

686
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: a it's a good thing. I don't know. He's not

687
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: getting paid much Antonio Brown. He's getting paid the minimum

688
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: with a little bit of incentives. So they like the

689
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: Patriots a year ago, there's very little risk in terms

690
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: of finances, and you could cut them as quickly as

691
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: you wanted to if if you if you felt like it.

692
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: But I'm telling I mean, we we're talking a lot,

693
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: and I want to see them do it against a

694
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: good defense. I mean, you said, we're not that surprised

695
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: about the Patriots. Well, when they put thirty six on

696
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders, we thought their offense might be pretty good.

697
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: This year, everyone puts thirty everyone's falling apart. My point

698
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: is everyone puts points on the Raiders. Um. So that's

699
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of the today's equation. It's not

700
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: taking anything away. It's just saying that I like this

701
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: Raiders team, but their defense is maybe the worst in

702
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's certainly one of the three or four

703
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: four worst. And that's why it was so crazy for

704
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Erica to uh go in a lock off against me

705
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: and Tom. How do you go against Tom Brady right now? Erica?

706
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you come at the king best, not miss Yeah.

707
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was a long, a long game. Did

708
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: you guys see my storybook? Um for Gruden and and

709
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: that whole thing, And I just I went with it

710
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: and I lost really hard one. And what is right

711
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: now with the one win being anti Jets, Dan, I

712
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: think you're muted. You were frozen there for a second.

713
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: Are you back? Tough? Sitch there? Ricky? I did one thing.

714
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: I want to get on and just I want just

715
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: check in her welfare at check she's okay, good. I

716
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: just wanted before we move on, get on the Raiders

717
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: and um John Gruden hated, hated, hated, fourth and one

718
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: at the Tampa Bay seventeen yard line, three to play

719
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they kick a field goal to

720
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: cut it. All year to cut it, I mean a

721
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: year to cut it. It was seventeen game. They were

722
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: down a touchdown to cut it. As if this was

723
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: a team that was going to get multiple stops on

724
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: a locked in Tom Brady with his supporting cast, this

725
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: would happened. After that, Kansas City got the ball back

726
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: eleven Place sixty seven yards touchdown. Next drive for the Raiders,

727
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: interception on the first play, following drive for Kansas City

728
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: to Place twenty four yards touchdown, followed by a four

729
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: and out by the Raiders filed followed by six Place

730
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: thirty two yards touchdown. It went from congratulations on your

731
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: field goal, Well they, I will say, they were hanging

732
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: in there and trying to, you know, not completely go hey,

733
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: we're off. And then they scored two touchdowns in two seconds.

734
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: So that was all packed into a crumbling a huge

735
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: melt play to win the game. Let's move on, Sorry,

736
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: sepred It's dann Sorrenson. Sorenson, here's true. Lock throws a

737
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: fifty yard pick six, dirty dance Arenson. How about that?

738
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs got a two yard kickoff return for a

739
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: touchdown by Byron Pringle, another name I Love, a hard

740
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: charging TV run by Clyde Edwards, Hilaire A Mahomes, the

741
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Tyreeke t d connection, and yes dirty Dance. Sorenson with

742
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: the pick six and Drew Lock added up to a

743
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: fortin over the Broncos at a frigid and snowy mile

744
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: high mark. You know, this is a game again. This

745
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: is one of the coldest days in the history of

746
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: Broncos football, which you would never think would happen this

747
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: time of year, but it was, so that's gonna affect

748
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: the passing game for the second straight week. Kansas City

749
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: weather elements played a part, I think in how they

750
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: were able to attack the opponent, but they were hitting

751
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: Denver from so many angles that it turned into a

752
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: blowout even with a single Mahome is touchdown. Well, and

753
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, if you're gonna try to challenge Kansas City,

754
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: who is not a team that can't operate in cold weather.

755
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: I mean it was beautiful to look at the snow.

756
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: The Broncos were hideous to look at. And you know,

757
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: this is a game for those you measuring Drew Lock

758
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I know a couple of close,

759
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: die hard Broncos fans that came away from this one

760
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: just very concerned about what they have under center. I mean,

761
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: you have two killer fumbles from Melvin Gordon, uh, two

762
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: interceptions from Lock and they never really got untracked. And

763
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: and you know, you we saw our first taste of

764
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell for the Chiefs. I thought he looked

765
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: it looked pretty good. They didn't use him a ton,

766
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: but it's just another we're talking about Antonio Brown. It's

767
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: another piece to add and you can question why they're

768
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: doing it, but to me, it's just like, you know,

769
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: load up, load up, down the stretch and uh, there

770
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: was no This game was just not a competition. And

771
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: I think that the Broncos, for all their parts, um

772
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: parts are great, but you need you need like the

773
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: quarterback play to equal it. And it just didn't happen

774
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: today at all. Well reminds me a little when the

775
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: forty Niners suddenly had all their players back and then

776
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: they got blown out that first game with the Dolphins.

777
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and the Broncos obviously aren't at the stage

778
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: of development at the fort You still gotta start playing

779
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: together a little bit um and uh, the offense you

780
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: would expect to do more. I'll take the l on

781
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 1: this that I thought. I thought the Broncos were gonna

782
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: be in this game. But you have a first half

783
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: where it's a pick six and a kick return against

784
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: it Saint the Chiefs. Forget about it. I mean that

785
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: that's it. It's over. I mean they the Chiefs were

786
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: held till like five and a half yards to play.

787
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: They didn't have a they didn't have a third down

788
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: in the game, they didn't convert a third down in

789
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: the game, and they put up forty three points like

790
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: they had under three yards in this game the Chiefs.

791
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: So I think the Broncos defense was up for a challenge,

792
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: but it's if you're giving away points on special teams, uh,

793
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: in your offense, eventually the defense is gonna cave it.

794
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the better defenses around, but

795
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: it's just you can't be put with you can't have

796
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: that weight put on you dealing with the Chiefs. It

797
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: was terrible performance by the Broncos. I still have an

798
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: open mind with Drew Lock, but now eight starts in

799
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: and I just don't see anything special there. He's gonna

800
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: need to improve his play. Um, he wasn't good enough

801
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: in this game. Just But at the same time, if

802
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna give the homes a past for not lighting

803
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: it up in in these elements, and let me just

804
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: give you a little hardcore information on this kickoff temperature

805
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: of fourteen degrees tied for the fifth coldest game in

806
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: Broncos history, the third coldest home game in franchise history,

807
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 1: and the coldest pre Halloween home game in franchise history.

808
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like a like a Jake Jillen Hall natural

809
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: disaster film taking part. Let's hear it for climate change.

810
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: Way to go. It's racking up the scores this year. Uh.

811
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: Levon Bell did look pretty good. He had to sixteen

812
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: yard runs. Uh in limited work he ran six times

813
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: for thirty nine yards. He had one run of sixteen

814
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: yards in two d and six the four carries with

815
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: the Jets. So I think he tweeted after the game,

816
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: man that felt so good. Uh. So he's happy to

817
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: be on a winner. You know. It goes to show

818
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: you if you complain enough, you could get into a

819
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: better situation than the modern NFL. Good for him, Um,

820
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: but Yeah, total effort for the Chiefs here and the Broncos.

821
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: Running out of time to write this thing. Let's move

822
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: on to Rogers looks rainbows right side, He's got his

823
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: Bandavante Adams to the ten of the five, right side

824
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: to the end zone, cutting it back, touts down Green

825
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Wayne Larravy with a call. W T MJ

826
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: with the call. Aaron Rodgers look vulnerable last week against

827
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: the Bucks, who was back to m v P form

828
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: against the Texans, throwing four touchdown passes too to an

829
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: uncoverable Davante Adams in Houston for the Packers, Mark Uh,

830
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looked like Aaron Rodgers again. Yes, and this

831
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: is a game that I was supposed to cover, but

832
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: I did catchum many elements of this and for me,

833
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: because of coming off of last week, it was one

834
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: of those games where heat check on the Packers are

835
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: are We had entered in into a place where they're

836
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: a myth. They aren't what we thought the first four weeks. Well,

837
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: I think they are what we what we thought they

838
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: were because they were and they were dialed in from

839
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: the beginning with literally no with no, with no reservations.

840
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean in the first half two fifty yards nine

841
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: point four yards per attempt, and you know you're playing

842
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: a Texans team that's been frisky. But the Texans opened

843
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: with basically three points a miss field goal, and then

844
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: they went to half where the the Packers like right

845
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: right out of the gate, a fifty five yard drive

846
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: and eighty eight yard drive, both of those taking up

847
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: ten and nine plays, eating up the clock. They score

848
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: a third touchdown before the half game over, and then

849
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: you know their defense has not been special, but that's enough,

850
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: that's enough to get it done. And so I look,

851
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: I think it's I think what happened last week was

852
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: we just talked about the Bucks you were dealing with.

853
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: It's one of the two or three super legit defenses,

854
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: and that's your concern. Can they operate? Can the Packers

855
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: get to a higher level against that kind of a defense, Well,

856
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: they'll probably see them again mm hmm. Like this is

857
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: a spot where you know, you the Texans are one

858
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: of the few teams that travel their cornerback, you know,

859
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby with the opposing number one, and then you

860
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: have him matched up against Davante Adams. He has his

861
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: struggles and he gets hurt and uh, it all all

862
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: falls apart from there. I mean, Packers defense is all

863
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: they gotta do. Force three punts in a row to

864
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: start a game. You're gonna win every one of those games.

865
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: It's like you just need the Packers defense to show up.

866
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: And that half is as good a half, you know,

867
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: production wise, as they've had in a long time. The

868
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: Packers defense, they need to start having some building blocks

869
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: as I'm not worried about the Packers offense. They did

870
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: this without Aaron Jones today. I mean they found out

871
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: before the game Aaron Jones is inactive and they still

872
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: they still put up points like that. And Davante Adams

873
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: he's a special player because he he's he's the guy

874
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: in the league that and you know, maybe DeAndre Hopkins

875
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: is another one that when he is gets into his zone,

876
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: he could just put up Madden on easy type numbers.

877
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: He had a career high one yardage, the most yards

878
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: by a Green Bay player since Jordy Nelson went for

879
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: two oh nine back in Week two, and Adams was

880
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: one catch shy of tying the franchise record shared by

881
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: himself in Week one of this year. And Don Hudson

882
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: back in two, so like when him and Rogers are right,

883
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: there is no more devastating tandem in the league. J J.

884
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: Watt uh spoke after the game about where the Texans

885
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: are at. Let's listen to that. About the way Rogers

886
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: played today, and I'm compared to the ways you've seen

887
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: him play earlier and when you guys played against him,

888
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: he played very well. To her, what do you do that?

889
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: What made him play well through the ball to receiver?

890
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: In my cart? I if you could see the look

891
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: on JJ Watt's face, it's why I wanted to man

892
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: he was He had this like gritted teeth look. He

893
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna say anything like he's look he sounded like

894
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: he wanted to jump through the screen and strangle John McClain,

895
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: who was asking that question, probably from Houston, Poor John McLean. Well,

896
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: it's also a team that you know they're There are

897
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: whispers out there that they could be heavy, um, very

898
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: active before the trade deadline. And I think the trade

899
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: deadline is not going to be a deadline this year

900
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: because to get players in with the Corona business, they're

901
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: saying the trades are gonna happen sooner, and guys like

902
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: Will Fuller have been mentioned um this week, this week

903
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: because a week from Tuesday. But yeah, you could see

904
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: in the next forty eight hours. I think we could

905
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: see trades because it's like, if you're gonna let him go,

906
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: move on, I think with what to you know? They're

907
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: one in six as they hit thereby. His brother t

908
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: J has not that this is part of the reason

909
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: it's frustrate, but kind of surpassed him, perhaps as a

910
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: talent in the NFL on an undefeated Steelers team. And

911
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: here's j J wat Um, a proud player, future Hall

912
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: of Famer, on the other side of thirty in the

913
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: middle of a mess in Houston. I can imagine it's

914
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: got to be very frustrating from where he kind of

915
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: saw his career arc as on a Super Bowl contender,

916
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he thought. And now to see where they

917
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: are now, tough sitch as they say, as you say, okay,

918
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: as I said, let's move on. Here we go, Let's

919
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: see it the money plays, Let's see what the Lions

920
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: dial up. Two seconds to go. Stafford in the out

921
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: of the gun. He's got it back looks looks talks

922
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: watch steps up, looks talk, J get it. That's tied

923
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: it and then extra point away. I'm winning this game? Wow, Babby,

924
00:48:53,440 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: how big is that? Big is that? Oh man? That

925
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: might be the call the year from Dan Miller with

926
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: Lomas Brown w j R. Yes, Maddie Stafford uh found

927
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson in the end zone with no time

928
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: on the clock, a game tying score that's set up

929
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: a long after a penalty p t by Matt Prader

930
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: from forty eight yards to nail down a win. So

931
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: there you go. The Lions, who lost so many games

932
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: like this win one. And for the Falcons it's the

933
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: same thing over and over. Greg lots to unpack here,

934
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: but I want to start here. Actually with the Todd

935
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Gurley touchdown that costs the Falcons the game. Yeah you

936
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: heard that right. Everyone knew it was coming. Everyone watching

937
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: that game knew that the Lions had to be thinking

938
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 1: of allowing the Falcons to score a touchdown. The situation

939
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: was about a one ten to go. They had just

940
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: gotten inside the ten yard line. They could have just

941
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: run the clock out that the Lions were out of

942
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: time out and the only cha they could have for

943
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: you know it would be blocking a young Way coup

944
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: kick from from you know, a couple of yards away,

945
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: or they could have kneeled and then scored a touchdown

946
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: after that, after birning some clock, and you thought, I

947
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: wonder if Matt Patricia is gonna think back to the

948
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: Patriots Super Bowl where they, you know, they let the

949
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: Giants score, whether they do it again. And I think

950
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons coaching staff told Todd Gurley, don't score a touchdown.

951
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: So he breaks a tackle right at the line of

952
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: scrimmage where they kind of have tried to tackle, and

953
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: then they let him in and he decides about the

954
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: one yard like oh no, oh, no, oh no, tries

955
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: to get down on the ground, tries not to score.

956
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: It was too late. He scored by mistake. It is

957
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: the most Falcons thing ever that you are allowed to score.

958
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: You're you're told not to score, and then you score

959
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: by mistake. And you could still you could have still

960
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: stopped the Lions at that point. But after Gurley scored

961
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: that touchdown, there was no doubt in my mind. I

962
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: don't care that the Lions had no timeouts. There was

963
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind they were gonna go right

964
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: down the field and score down. And you do have

965
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: to give Stafford and Kenny Golladay, who was a total

966
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: difference maker today, credit for making some great plays in

967
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: that drive, especially Golliday which set up that game winning touchdown.

968
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: But what a dart, What a beautiful dart to Golliday

969
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: to set up the Hawkins and score. Yeah, and in

970
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: in true Falcons fashion, Falcons zooming up the pain rankings

971
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: the fact that when as he loses his balance and

972
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: he goes down to the ground, it's like this like

973
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: fun house mirror reverse scenario of how football works, where

974
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: it's like did the ball cross the plane for the touchdown?

975
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: But that's not what you want, of course, Yes, of

976
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: course with the Falcons, it's gonna go the wrong way

977
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: for them and just another crushing loss. I mean maybe

978
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: in the long term. Honestly, Mark, this is kind of

979
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: good for the Falcons who are playing for two thousand

980
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: twenty one anyway. But at the same time, for a

981
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: team that's had so many stomach punch loss is this

982
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: year to just add another one to the ledger in

983
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: a new and unique way. You just don't need that.

984
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: Well there, I wouldn't trust them to not be in

985
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes, no matter how that will they

986
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: played for fifty eight minutes. Um, but look at these

987
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: frisky little three and three lions. Oh you're jumping back

988
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: on because they're and you you were sinking them. I mean,

989
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: get on. I built my own vehicle wagon with my

990
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: own vehicle. You know that as as horror horrific this

991
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: matchup was in terms of the uniforms and the stadium lighting,

992
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: which I know Chris Wessling got a lot of tweets

993
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: at him and he was retweeting them, and you know,

994
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: it was an all time bad looking game. You know,

995
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: it was a very evenly played, you know, good football contest.

996
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Julio Jones played well. It was like

997
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: very even, very tense, but to end that way was

998
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: just the most falcons. And they have mentioned that any

999
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: sort of trade rumors around Ryan and Julio Jones, I mean,

1000
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: I guess you get blown away. Are simply wind at

1001
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: this point that they're not moving them this season. I

1002
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 1: noticed that. I guess it was whenever their previous home

1003
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: game was. And that's a beautiful building, Mercedes ben Stadium.

1004
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: We were there for the Super Bowl a couple of

1005
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: years ago, and it was kind of the first of

1006
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: its kind. Having the in the round visual scoreboard that's

1007
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: now going to be the rage everywhere, and we see

1008
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: it in the new Hollywood Park facility here. But there's

1009
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: something off about the turf, the coloring of the turf

1010
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: and the lighting in the stadium that just kind of

1011
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: everything feels muted and a little bit depressing. That feels

1012
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: like a fairly easy fix. Thousands of so many things

1013
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: they need to fix. That feels like something that could

1014
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: be handled pretty quickly, maybe even during a bye week

1015
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: or something. Um Mark, I'm picturing you like on like

1016
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: a like a donkey or like you know, you're on

1017
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: your like borrow and you're you're trying to catch up

1018
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: to the sputtering Lions bandwagon. So you could do like

1019
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: an Indiana Jones, do the whip and pull yourself on it.

1020
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: You're strugg going to catch up with the borrow. You

1021
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: can you can do it. Maybe, I mean you're putting

1022
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: me on a on a farm animal. I'm not. I've built,

1023
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: I said I built and enjoy. It's not going to

1024
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: be an animal this. If this game doesn't convince you,

1025
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna, you know, roar to the playoffs. So

1026
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: what will I just said they're frisky, and they are

1027
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: they're suddenly suddenly, they're back in the conversation. Sitting at

1028
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: five hundred. A lot of season left, Greg and Dan

1029
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: moving on. Here's the snap on second and two and

1030
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: this passes. This really interestinger ship that Jerry Hughes has

1031
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: the ball and he has goes down. He gets a

1032
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: late hit, but Jerry Hughes comes up with the pick somehow.

1033
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: What a call. Listen, the Bills had six field goals

1034
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: for their scoring, not a lot to choose from in

1035
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: this one. Yes, the Bills losing streak is over because

1036
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 1: their defense finally took a game over Buffalo's. The health

1037
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: Sam Donald in the Jets the four total yards on

1038
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: sixteen plays from scrimmage in the second half, allowing the

1039
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: Bill's offense to dig out of an early double double

1040
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: digit deficit and an eventual eighteen to ten win. Donald

1041
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: was sacked five times and through two picks, including the

1042
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: game stealer, a deflection u corralled by Jerry Hughes late

1043
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Um. Jerry Hughes was awesome in

1044
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: this game. He played like a man possessed. Um had

1045
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: two sacks tackles for loss. The interception, just around the

1046
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: ball all game in a strange game, because we talked

1047
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: about it on the preview show that this was an

1048
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: obvious get right game for the Bills. Uh, you kind

1049
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: of imagine this could have been a thirty four to seven,

1050
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: you know, forty two to six type game, and they

1051
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 1: get right. Well, that wasn't the way things started out.

1052
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: They fall down ten nothing in the second quarter. Uh,

1053
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has a fumble uh and deep and Jets

1054
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: territory that he loses. Um. He is showing some accuracy

1055
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: issues again and you're you're wondering what's going on here.

1056
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: But they are able to get back in the game

1057
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: because the Jets offense with Donald uh struggling in the

1058
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: first game for dal Loggins who took over play calling

1059
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: duties from Adam Gates, which I guess is just gaze

1060
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: and total desperation mode mode at this point, just trying

1061
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: to do anything to spark matters. But it didn't work

1062
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: and uh, Josh all couldn't get Buffalo into the end zone. Um.

1063
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: But they also didn't punt as far as I can recall, Uh,

1064
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: they settled for eight field goal attempts, hitting six of them,

1065
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: and that accounted for all the scoring. So not you

1066
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: guys did not miss a golden game here, but the

1067
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: Bills will take it and they get back on the

1068
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: winning side of things, and they're five and two. How

1069
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: are you, uh on Donald's return because you know, early

1070
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: get you know, he made some big throws which I saw,

1071
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: and then you look at it and in the second half,

1072
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: the Jets at four yards. I don't know if I've

1073
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: ever seen that four yards as a team and on

1074
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: sixteen places, you know, there's just basically a three and

1075
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: out machine, and you know the way, and I tweeted

1076
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: about it this week. So like, if you're trying to

1077
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: figure out what do you want out of this Jet season,

1078
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: at this point, it's like, alright, ten games, let's see

1079
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: what Sam Donald has. Because you're kind of like as

1080
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: Mark alluded to on our preview show, and a bit

1081
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: of a catch twenty two situation where like you don't

1082
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: want to give up on Sam Donald because you have

1083
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: a lot invested in him and you you've seen the flashes,

1084
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: but at the same time, like he needs to improve

1085
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: and really make it a tough decision for the Jets

1086
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: if they do indeed end up having uh, perhaps the

1087
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, and this game, to me was

1088
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: like a huge red flag because the Bill's defense hasn't

1089
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: been any good this year and the Jets didn't have

1090
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: Jameson Crowder, which is a huge loss for that offense

1091
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: because he basically is the offense for most of the season.

1092
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: But they did have Perriman back, and they got Denzel

1093
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: Mims back, and early on they were they did have

1094
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: a bit of a connection. But the fact that you

1095
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: face planted in the second half, you're You're just gonna

1096
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: make the decision easier for the Jets if you have

1097
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: a couple more of these performances. So yeah, I was

1098
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: disappointed by his play. I mean, I guess if you're

1099
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: you can't you can't kill Jets fans if a couple

1100
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: of months from now, if this season plays out as

1101
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: it has um to switch loyalties because a Jets fans

1102
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: job has been an awful job. But you're not sitting

1103
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: there just to not enjoy life. Um, so a ton

1104
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: of changes coming. I did see DJ in terms of quarterbacks,

1105
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: not in terms of teams, because I wouldn't blame him

1106
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: for tweet switching teams. I mean, life's too short. Well,

1107
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: that's well, I don't think that. I don't know too

1108
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: many Jets fans that would do that or any To

1109
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: be honest, they're very loyal, man. I wouldn't blame them.

1110
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: But I saw Daniel Jeremiah. Jeremiah tweet that their Jets

1111
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: rookie class um. He was gushing about how promising it was.

1112
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that's because Mims came in and made some plays.

1113
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: Mims got out of the game healthy, made some catches

1114
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: and that's you know, you get excited about that. And

1115
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton came back in and he looks like a

1116
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: potential all Pro level left tackle, which is a huge hit.

1117
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean DJ was happy to see a

1118
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: positive tweet about the Jets once because you don't see

1119
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: many of them. But yeah, Donald is up to about

1120
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: thirty starts now, and you can't just continue to hope

1121
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: that he's going to kind of pull it together at

1122
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: a certain point, especially why it did cross my mind

1123
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: during this very ugly second half. You know, Joe Burrow

1124
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: lightening up the Browns, and he's been lightening up teams

1125
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: all year, justin Herbert, what he's been able to do. Uh,

1126
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: you know what that's what you expect at some point,

1127
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: and you just haven't. You haven't seen it from Donald

1128
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: And even though he's been in a horrible situation, you

1129
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: gotta have results at some point. So that's where I'm

1130
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: at on I'm starting to kind of mentally begin my

1131
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: break from Sam Donald and and mentally preparing for the

1132
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: idea of hitting the reboot. Well, it's competitive, although the Jets,

1133
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, look as bad as you know any team.

1134
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: Certainly there are only there. I counted their seven teams

1135
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: with one winner. Less, there's a lot of bad teams

1136
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: this year. The battle. Uh, there's a lot of three

1137
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: gaul You could your seven teams right now where it's

1138
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: week seven right now, and there's seven teams with one winner.

1139
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Take a look at the jets upcoming schedule and tell

1140
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: me where you see the three games. You're lucky because

1141
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: their schedules brutal ba game as they got. All right,

1142
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: let's move on another team in the tank for Trevor Sweepstakes.

1143
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: Steps back now, throw it deep down the left sideline.

1144
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: That's Terry mcclord. Wide open pitch catch, touchdown, touchdown, Washington.

1145
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: You are not gonna double cast that one. Bram Weinstein

1146
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: and Julie Donaldson w t M. Good to hear the

1147
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: female perspective in the calls, and you don't get much

1148
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,919
Speaker 1: of that might be the only one, right scary. Terry

1149
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: McLaurin and Kyle Allen hooked up on a fifty two

1150
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: yard touchdown and the Washington football team coasted to win

1151
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: over the moribund Dallas Cowboys. I mean, a team that

1152
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: could be headed towards major changes in the near future. Greg,

1153
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys really are this bad? They are. UM, it

1154
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: was unfortunate to see Andy Dalton go out with UM

1155
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: a concussion after a dirty hit UM by John Bostic.

1156
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was intentional, but it was

1157
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: a late hit on a slide and he'll he got

1158
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: kicked out of the game and he'll probably be suspended.

1159
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: But I don't think that should um distract from how

1160
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: thorough a total beat down the game already was before that.

1161
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I think you could have had Andy Dalton out there

1162
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: for twelve drives and I don't think they were going

1163
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown with him or UM. Who was

1164
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: who was their quarterback? Ben Denucci? Like just I don't

1165
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: even I don't even want to, I don't even want

1166
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: to professional and look, he actually made one one good

1167
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: throw and in his limited time, but wow, they were

1168
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: overmatched on both sides of the boss, just totally overmatched.

1169
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: Forget Washington being in the in the mix for Trevor.

1170
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Their their defense is too good. I think they're gonna

1171
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: win too many games, and their offense is better with

1172
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen. I do think it was a smart move

1173
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:13,919
Speaker 1: to go to Kyle Allen. I kind of I thought

1174
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: so at the time too, And I think he's not great,

1175
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: but they're better. I mean, we liked Kyle Allen for

1176
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: games last year and then you know, the floor fell out.

1177
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson yards on the ground. I think you're right, Greig.

1178
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: They're they're a little too frisky. They're a little too

1179
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: talented on defense to be in that race. This is

1180
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to me um this season. Mike McCarthy answering

1181
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: questions after the game about the Dalton hit from Bostick

1182
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: and acknowledging that one of the things that threw him

1183
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: that he found concerning Let's hear it, we speak all

1184
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: the time about playing for one another, you know, protecting

1185
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: one another. M So definitely was probably not the response

1186
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: that would yeah, that you know, when your quarterback goes down,

1187
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: you want everyone around him and and and that was

1188
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: done with Dak Prescott obviously, but people get after Boston,

1189
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what he's saying. It's it's rally

1190
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: around your quarterback and show show Washington that you're not

1191
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: taking that and instead, um, this lifeless roster which has

1192
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: had a complete disconnect a with the coaching staff and

1193
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: be with anyone observing the Dallas Cowboys this season did nothing.

1194
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: And I think that speaks to me about the A

1195
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of the criticism you started to hear about the

1196
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: player coach relationships and everything going on weeks ago that

1197
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: had you concerned, but you saw the talent and now

1198
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: it's just like, talent is fine. Every team has talent um,

1199
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: they're not playing up in any level to where they are.

1200
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you come out of this

1201
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: season if you're Jerry Jones and things stay a pace

1202
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: um with a vote of confidence and Mike McCarthy it's

1203
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: one and done and you know what the rest of

1204
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: the thing moves on with. And I mean, this is

1205
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: as bad of a coaching job as I've ever seen.

1206
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I think that is well within the range of outcomes

1207
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: if this continues, and especially who knows what Dalton I mean,

1208
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with a concussion, was a nasty head.

1209
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, these guys can come back five days later

1210
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: from concussions, it's just the way the sport is, or sometimes,

1211
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: depending on the severity, could disappear for the rest of

1212
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the year. So we don't need to know his status

1213
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: right now. But the fact that he has come out

1214
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: and looks so helpless, uh, puts this team into a

1215
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: really dark place now where uh if he can't play.

1216
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: And Benny Denucci, who we you know, we like his name,

1217
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: but he's a seventh round pick. Uh, so you're not

1218
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: expecting a lot for him. This thing could really create her.

1219
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: And again you have a aging results wants results now

1220
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: level owner. And I would even put a sandwich wager

1221
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: out there that this this could end up with McCarthy

1222
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: being sent out of town. And I don't think I

1223
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: take you on it. Because you want to do it,

1224
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: let's do it. I just just I's not a crazy

1225
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: sandwich to put up there. I think there's cases for

1226
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: both sides. I don't know if Jerry Jones gonna want

1227
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,919
Speaker 1: to admit he's wrong that quickly. It's gonna be slow

1228
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: water torture though for this season, because because of how

1229
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: bad the NFC East is, they're gonna have to like

1230
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: not give up. Like it's like the games are gonna

1231
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: keep mattering as they keep playing this bad and and

1232
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: I thought like, when I, you know, heard about the

1233
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: you know Dalton not you know getting near him, I

1234
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: thought about, like, well, how many of these guys know

1235
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: each other that well, it's like an offensive line of

1236
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: just total replacements. I'm not saying that justifies it. I'm not.

1237
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to tell you these aren't even the Cowboys.

1238
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: It was only one starter left, um from the offensive

1239
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: line as before, Andy Dalton's not there. I just want

1240
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: to throw this out before he goes. By the way,

1241
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: I think Scott Turners doing a good job as their

1242
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: coordinator considering how little talent there is, and that I

1243
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: think it again shows um how poor like Dallas is

1244
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: coaching the The Washington football team had a hundred, two

1245
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two yards at halftime. Washington, they had

1246
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: their season high and running for the year at halftime

1247
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty five yards against this Cowboys d

1248
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: and their health. They're pretty healthy on the Cowboy, so

1249
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, let's not forget about that Cowboys. The wow.

1250
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I should have locked up the Cowboys

1251
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: this week. Hey, Eric, are you there? Did we lose

1252
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: her again? I think I think this is this is

1253
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: a periodic welfare check if you're just joined. Eddie Spaghetti

1254
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: is here now he came. He's a hunk of bees. Yeah,

1255
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: so Eddie was just outside checking the perimeter. I like it.

1256
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Eddie brought in. I got Staten Island in the house,

1257
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: full investigator on the case. I'm glad that Eddie's in

1258
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: the building because that's a guy that I would trust.

1259
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Nothing else in that apartment A right good. I just

1260
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: also want to make sure you're not like wandering around

1261
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: the city handing drifters, stunned guns and lead pipes, and

1262
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: after what we saw earlier with the butcher knife being

1263
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: handed to the stranger here. Yeah, no, I'm I'm very

1264
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: very properly scared. So Eddie and there's nothing in the apartment.

1265
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: He sounds like he maybe just moved in and he

1266
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: ordered a pizza because has he's he has no groceries,

1267
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: and so he maybe it's legit and he's a very

1268
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: nice person that needed a night for you. Yeah, let's

1269
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: get shook over there. That's you know, Eddie's a nice

1270
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: piece of meat over there for protection. But let's welcome

1271
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: and Nick shook Erica in a little bit of danger. Potentially.

1272
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: We're keeping an eye on it, Nick, but we're gonna

1273
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: send you over if we feel it to be necessary. OK.

1274
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't go to the gym five days week for

1275
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: no reason. What a piece of meat himself? All right?

1276
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Shook is with us? Uh to continue with the highlights,

1277
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: And here's a shootout of fun game down at the

1278
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: super Dome. Shall we sly will attempt an NFL record

1279
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: sixty five yard field goal? It kicks away. It is

1280
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: getting dangerously close and just short. Mm hmmm mmmmmmmmm. Zack

1281
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Street with the all for w w L sixty five

1282
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: yards dead red down the middle but fell about two

1283
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: yards short of the crossbark. Was that close to NFL history,

1284
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: But it didn't work out for the Panthers and Joey

1285
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: Sly and that rule with BA to the Saints. Drew

1286
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 1: Brees completed past the eight different pass catchers through for two, eight,

1287
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: seven and two touch INDs and added another score in

1288
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: the ground. That's three straight wins for the Saints. Shook.

1289
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: Let's give New Orleans some credit here. They are shorthanded

1290
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: on offense and they're still getting it done. Yeah. No,

1291
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and yet Drew Brees really spread the ball

1292
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: around really well. Yeah. Yeah. Deonte Harris had his first

1293
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: career touchdown catch today. He went to a number of

1294
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 1: different other different receivers album camera doing it again, of course,

1295
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: over a hundred all purpose yards for the seventh straight game,

1296
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: which is the longest active streak in the NFL. I mean,

1297
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, this is the offense even without the guys

1298
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: that we knew. You know that the names aren't there,

1299
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: but this is still the offense that we expected from

1300
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: the Saints. And yeah, the only one by three points,

1301
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: but it was it was enough of a back and

1302
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: forth the fair where when you stepped away from it afterward,

1303
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: you're like, that was a quality win. I mean, the Panthers,

1304
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're not a team that we expected much from,

1305
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: but they're pretty competitive and it was a competitive game today.

1306
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: So it still is a good win for the Saints. Well,

1307
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: it's also a game you look at, you know, the

1308
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: yardage and the game's close, but the yardagees and the

1309
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Saints moved the ball a lot better um, and that

1310
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,679
Speaker 1: goes to I think the Panthers overachieving. But the Saints

1311
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: are pretty deep, even though they're injured, and we get

1312
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: to Michael Thomas because I do, I do want to

1313
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: talk about Michael Thomas, but they're pretty injured in various parts,

1314
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: but their lines are are getting healthy, and like they're

1315
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: deep along those lines. And Marcus Davenport, who's back and healthy,

1316
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: had a huge sack to back up that Joey slide

1317
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: field goal and not to me like that has that's

1318
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: a huge moment in that game. Yeah, I mean there

1319
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: was only two sacks the entire game, and and that

1320
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: was the biggest defensive play I think of the entire game.

1321
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: The other one was Brian burns Uh forcing a fumble

1322
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: near the end of the first half which let do

1323
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown and the Panthers, I mean, he took a

1324
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen leading in the second quarter and looked like, oh,

1325
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: they might pull this off. And it was close throughout

1326
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: the game, but you're right, the Saints, you know, out

1327
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: gained them, and it was really them. It was really

1328
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: the Panthers finding way to remain the game late, and

1329
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: you know that that sack kind of put him in

1330
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: a position where you already knew that was gonna be outcome.

1331
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: You're like, are they really gonna do it? Is this

1332
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: really gonna happen? But I will say I'll give Joey

1333
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: Slye this. If Teddy bridge Water doesn't take that sack,

1334
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 1: that's the tie game and went over because from sixty

1335
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: five missed by about two ft. And this is a

1336
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: guy that was on the Corona list a few uh

1337
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 1: some things ago. Yeah, that's start of the week. Um, Greg,

1338
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: you I think you deserve credit for standing by Teddy

1339
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Bridgewater during this offseason ramp up to the season. He

1340
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: they moved the ball and they could put up big plays.

1341
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson and d J. Moore are now the only

1342
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: teammate duo in the NFL with five plus receiving yards

1343
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: through Week seven. Uh entering Sunday Night Football. Uh they

1344
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: this is not a dinkin duck. The average air yards

1345
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: per tempt um myth around Teddy Bridgewater has been proven false.

1346
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 1: Uh So listen, they're now three and two in five

1347
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: games without Christian McCaffrey. I believe they're playing Thursday night

1348
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: and they're expected, uh to potentially get McCaffrey back. He

1349
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: has not played since week two, So I mean, you're

1350
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: signing up, You're you're signing up for three and four

1351
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: probably if you're Matt Rule, even though you're disappointed tonight.

1352
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: I got sandwiches on Teddy having more yards than Josh Allen,

1353
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 1: which uh, I would have would have thought it with

1354
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Teddy's in like the top seven right in passing yards,

1355
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,839
Speaker 1: he'd be in good shape. But he's he is trailing,

1356
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: but he's in that mix. I do think we should

1357
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: mention how weird this Michael Thomas thing is. I don't

1358
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: know what's going on here. Dude, he was supposed to

1359
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: be back like three or four weeks ago. Dude gets

1360
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: in a fight and get suspended before the bye week.

1361
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Everyone thought he was gonna play the week four. Then

1362
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: there's like rumblings he returns to practice that he might

1363
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: get traded. Then there's Sean Payton going after someone on

1364
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Twitter saying that's a bunch of nonsense. And I have

1365
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: found over the years when there's weird things coming out

1366
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, it's for a reason, and usually when

1367
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is going out of his way to deny things. Uh,

1368
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: usually it's the Saints that are putting out that story

1369
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: in the first place, like something something that you know,

1370
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers are so tough sometimes because they're so volatiles

1371
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: at times personality wise, And it seems to me with

1372
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: the smoke that's coming out of there is that this

1373
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: guy is causing issues behind the scenes. You don't find

1374
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: the latest hamstring hamstring tweak, then I don't know, he

1375
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: could be banged up, but I Mike Florio reported um

1376
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 1: on NBC tonight what you were just saying, Greg that

1377
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: they kind of potentially were floating Thomas before the trade deadline,

1378
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: and now this injury kind of has thrown cold water

1379
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: on that. And uh, I mean, this guy set the

1380
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: all time catch record last year. This guy had been

1381
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,679
Speaker 1: the most productive wide receiver since Antonio Brown. Oh yeah,

1382
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, another all world talent that's personality and off

1383
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: the field issues torpedoed his career until recently. Now, I mean,

1384
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: it's it is very interesting to see how this plays out.

1385
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: And it is weird that the injury stuff wrapped around

1386
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: me the punch. I mean, it's they're also still like

1387
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: sneaky two months away from probably Drew Brees walking away

1388
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: and becoming the notre dame announcer and looking themselves at

1389
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: least on offense in a pretty deep rebuild. I mean,

1390
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: he was healthy enough to be practicing to get into

1391
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: a fight with the car I don't know, you know

1392
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: what I mean, And that was like three weeks ago,

1393
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 1: so that, yeah, yeah, Mark, does that Does that speak

1394
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: to you think Michael Thomas couldn't handle the struggles over rebuild?

1395
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: Or is it the fact that because like that guy,

1396
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: a guy at that age that he was that good

1397
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: of a receiver, you would want that to be one

1398
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: of your key pieces, and I think he would too.

1399
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be surprised that they trade him. But

1400
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: when you throw in the fact that he's punching teammates,

1401
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: and that's the part of the story that we know,

1402
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 1: there might be the experience of Michael Thomas becoming a

1403
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: little bit too much for everyone. If there was ever

1404
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: a player that were to unfollow his team on Twitter

1405
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: and Instagram after an O and two start with a

1406
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: new quarterback that's struggling, it is Michael Thomas. Maybe they're

1407
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: trying to get ahead of this. The unfollowed. That's a

1408
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,560
Speaker 1: good call. All right, let's move on. There was a

1409
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: there was a false alarm unfollowing on Twitter and Instagram

1410
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: today of Harrison Smith and the Vikings. I want everyone

1411
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: to know that it was out there that Harrison Smith

1412
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: had unfollowed the Vikings on his social but it then

1413
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: was later learned via reporting that he in fact had

1414
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: never followed the Vikings in the first place. So everyone

1415
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 1: stand down. Harrison Smith is not on his way out

1416
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: of Minnesota. Now we move on. I got to get

1417
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: that out there. Greg Coms rose right sideline for guiding,

1418
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: caught right sideline Ted Giten to the touchdown Chargers Herbert

1419
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: to Giten seventy yards just too much speed, Matt Money

1420
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: Smith Daniel Jarremiah with a call k Y s R.

1421
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Man Money has got a n DJ have a front

1422
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: row seed for something special here justin Herbert is a

1423
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,799
Speaker 1: man on fire. The super rookie went off with another

1424
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: big passing game, also set a charges rushing record for

1425
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks uh four touchdowns, including that game winner at the

1426
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Guiten win over the Jacks at Hollywood Park. Herbert

1427
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: finally gets that elusive first win, but we all know

1428
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: he's played well enough to win a bunch of games already. Shook,

1429
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: this kid looks like an instant Stars is a huge

1430
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,919
Speaker 1: story in the league. You know, I was really startled.

1431
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean we followed the league from each week obviously,

1432
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,680
Speaker 1: but I was just startled for a moment when I

1433
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: was watching the end of the game today and heard

1434
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: the broadcast say, and Justin Herbert officially has his first

1435
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: career in because you think he's been playing well for

1436
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: a month, like that type of performance from a quarterback

1437
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: usually leads to victories, and yet the Charges have found

1438
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: ways to lose and and have you know, had some

1439
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: close calls. So I was like, wow, that really is

1440
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: his first career win, but it's it's the first of many.

1441
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean at this point, some of the passes that

1442
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: he threw today were just absolute times, and he seems

1443
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: to be getting better with more experience week by week.

1444
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of in the mold of Joe Burrow. But

1445
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Burrow looked better from the start I think, or has been.

1446
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if they started he was here and

1447
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: he keeps going up. Um, but they're both improving on

1448
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: a weekly basis and it's really exciting to watch, and

1449
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: especially for a Chargers team that I mean when when

1450
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: we entered this season, we didn't know what they were

1451
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: getting out of him. They kind of took Justin Herbert

1452
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: because he was the guy after Tua and they had

1453
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: Tyrode as the bridge quarterback, and you didn't know when

1454
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Herbert was going to see the field at all. There

1455
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: was some thought that he wouldn't see the field at

1456
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: all this season, and yet he comes out and he's

1457
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: playing like like a stud. So it's really exciting. The

1458
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: thing that is interesting to me is like you watch

1459
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: his touchdown run, which was I mean his arm set

1460
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: up that run because because they didn't know what to

1461
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: do with him, and it's like, okay, I mean from

1462
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: a team planning angle, they wanted Tyrod Taylor to red

1463
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: shirt this season for Herbert because also he's um and

1464
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn favorite because he's a mobile scrambler and in

1465
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: fun on the grounds, like sorry, Justin Herbert can do

1466
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: basically anything on the ground that Tyrod Taylor today is

1467
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna do for you, and he can do a billion

1468
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: more things through the air. I just wonder how they

1469
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: scouted him beforehand, I mean to the eye. He is

1470
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: a complete wonder. Well you gotta pay I don't. You

1471
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: can't know until they're in the games. I feel like, yeah,

1472
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: when when coaches say like we will love we love

1473
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,600
Speaker 1: this guy in practice, like that's why Colin Kaepernick is

1474
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 1: replacing Alex Smith, it's like, oh, well, coaches are with

1475
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: him all week long. So it's kind of like, could

1476
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: bend it anyway you want? I mean, well, you think

1477
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: they've they struggled to evaluate just how awkward is it

1478
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jeremiah having to call these games. I'm sure

1479
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: he's like interviewing with Justin Herbert and he has to

1480
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: be like, oh, sorry, bro, I had you ranked twenty

1481
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: in my top fifty rankings behind and Drew Thomas struggling

1482
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: weekly behind Kenneth Murray and thanks in your world DJ versation. Well,

1483
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean Herbert knows. I mean he's analyst. He's a

1484
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: great behind Ross Blacklock. I don't even know if he

1485
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: went in the first two rounds um graded behind all

1486
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: those guys. And here's one of the greatest quarterbacks as

1487
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: a rookie we've ever seen a lot of what a

1488
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: hit piece by y I can done it, but um,

1489
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 1: anything else on this game shook than the Herbert. Well,

1490
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: on the Herbert point, I think the one thing that

1491
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: has helped him so far as he's doing a lot

1492
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: of the things that he did well at Oregon, including running.

1493
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody remembers that Rose Bowl win that he

1494
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: closed his organ career with. I mean, that's a prime

1495
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: example of basically what has helped him through the first

1496
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, five weeks that he's played football in the NFL.

1497
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I think you're right on not figuring

1498
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 1: out where these guys are headed. But at the same

1499
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: time they get out there just kind of do with thing. Now.

1500
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville wise, there was some rumbling about Gardner Minshew, right, um,

1501
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: who is gonna lose his job? He was okay, I

1502
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: mean he had a couple of touchdown pass the day,

1503
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: hundred seventy three yards. He kept him in the game.

1504
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: But then it was the same Gardner Minshew outcome at

1505
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: the end fourth and two, he gets the conversion fourth

1506
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: and eight, he misses an open DJ Shark by five yards,

1507
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: and that was basically the ballgame. So you're ceiling is low. Sure,

1508
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: it's exciting from time to time, but these Jaguars, we

1509
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 1: know they're not really going anywhere they're gonna play. How

1510
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,560
Speaker 1: is it? How is the head coach today floating that

1511
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 1: story out there to our reporters saying that we're going

1512
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: to We're We've made a decision that Mike Lennon will

1513
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: give us a better chance when when they're down thirty

1514
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: nine and they need, you know, points when he's trying

1515
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: to push the ball downfield. You can see the frustration

1516
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 1: on the receivers on the two misses he had there.

1517
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's just a limited guy when

1518
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: you have to open it up a little bit. But

1519
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: they're certainly in the tank for Trevors. So stakes at

1520
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: one and six, now off six straight losses. Now Sunday

1521
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 1: Night Football, Sunday nine, can you make this one? It

1522
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: is in a sixty nine minute at forty five second game.

1523
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: It is the only time that Arizonas had to lose

1524
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 1: Al Michael's with the call friend BC Zane Gonzalza tones

1525
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: for his error at the end of regulation when he

1526
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: shanked a forty one yard or hitting the forty eight

1527
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: yarder in ot Arizona Cardinals thirty seven, Seattle Seahawks thirty

1528
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: four and a thriller the Cardinals improved to five into

1529
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: the Seahawks finally lose their first game of the year.

1530
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: They fall to five and one. Uh shook. This one

1531
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 1: was wild. The Seahawks seemed to have it in hand.

1532
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: They were up thirty four with less than six minutes

1533
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: to play. Uh they are unable to close the game

1534
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,799
Speaker 1: out on defense and no surprise there, and then unable

1535
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: to take advantage of there are opportunities when Russell Wilson

1536
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 1: was on the field. Yeah, I felt like once the

1537
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: scramble to get it to second and short at the

1538
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: two minute warning, it was basically, well, you know, they

1539
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: get this first down and it's all but over and

1540
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: then you know, Arizona gets to stop and suddenly have

1541
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: a ball game. But even at that point, the Cardinals

1542
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: still have to go down the field. I mean, there

1543
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: was there was. It was such an unlikely and I

1544
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: haven't looked at the probability metric on for next Gen

1545
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: in this game, but I'm worked up. I'm sure it

1546
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: just shot down because like this was unlikely. This was

1547
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: definitely unlikely. But I mean it speech to the moxy

1548
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: and the the ability of of a young guy like

1549
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to be able to leave it, and also

1550
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: the Larry Fitzgerald forgetting the ball to the center in

1551
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 1: order for them to snap in times. People love that

1552
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: love that unlikely. It was insane. How did they They

1553
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: blew the Seahawks blew this game a thousand different ways.

1554
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: The Cardinals, you know, tried to um in over time

1555
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: a couple of different times too, But there were so

1556
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: many parts of this game that was that were absolutely insane.

1557
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the inverse of that six six

1558
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals Seahawks game, which happened when I was in London

1559
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and you guys weren't. I remember it ended up like

1560
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: five in the morning and there was a gate all year.

1561
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 1: Was that like the worst game of the year or

1562
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: the best game? Like this one tonight. It was sloppy

1563
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 1: as hell, but it was the best game of the year.

1564
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: And I go back, um like to that overtime period

1565
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: or what set it up rather and the decision from

1566
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and you mentioned uh Nick shook that Russell

1567
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: Wilson scrambled to set up a second and short where

1568
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 1: all they need is two yards to to finish off

1569
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: the game, and the first run loses yardage and I

1570
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: and I was. I remember thinking like, are they going

1571
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: to have the guts to throw the ball here? Because

1572
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 1: if they throw the ball here, they're gonna win the game.

1573
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 1: And I don't kill them for running it there. But

1574
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: you went run, run, run in that spot, you went backwards.

1575
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: In the end. It was like the only time all

1576
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: year where they didn't have the guts. And Kyler Murray

1577
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 1: directs one of the craziest uh late minute regulation drives

1578
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen fifty four seconds where they had two

1579
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: designed runs. They spiked it three different times. Uh. You

1580
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: never seen something like that, And it was really like

1581
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: courageous and smart. And then Cliff Kingsbury did as much

1582
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: as he could in overtime to make us think they're

1583
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 1: not necessarily courageous and smart or in or in regulation,

1584
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: because I mean, you know, had that gone down poorly

1585
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, you've got the talking point that Zene

1586
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,719
Speaker 1: Gonzalez kicked the would be uh game winning but would

1587
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: be not game winning field goal on second down, which

1588
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing that what you with, especially with

1589
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: the kickers, like the last thing they do is all

1590
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: we remember and it wipes out all these other storylines. Um.

1591
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: But I will say I will footnote this by saying

1592
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: that I thought that one of the biggest things that

1593
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: that Arizona did in regulation and the overtime period was

1594
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: UM getting to Russell Wilson. That Byron murphy sack was huge.

1595
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean, coming off a regulation period that saw them,

1596
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, combined for nine two yards. The minute this game, UM,

1597
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: the minute that the Bucks Raiders was moved out of

1598
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: this slot in Arizona seatll got moved in. UM, We've

1599
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: been through this enough. A mental note UM rolled through

1600
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: my mind that said, you will be up at least

1601
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: an extra hour and twenty minutes that you would have

1602
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 1: been up. Um, Cliff Kingsbury there, I'm sure we'll have

1603
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: a victory Monday. On Tuesday morning at the team meeting,

1604
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,560
Speaker 1: he should have Rolex watches for everyone on the Arizona

1605
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: defense for bailing his ass out UH on this game,

1606
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 1: because Yeah, I could not get over it, and I

1607
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: couldn't believe Alan Chris are usually still locked in on things.

1608
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: Didn't even make any note of it that he settled

1609
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: for the forty one yard field goal second right after

1610
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: a five yard loss. It was a reminder that head

1611
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: coaches can lose their nerve too in a really big spot,

1612
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's what happened. Uh, sorry, I think

1613
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: that's what happened here. Uh. He they lost five on

1614
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: a run and he just said, okay, send Zane out there.

1615
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: He lost and you and what you would he really

1616
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: failed to realize is that the Seattle defense was guessed.

1617
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 1: Even Kalsworth was making note of it, that these guys

1618
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: were done and all you gotta do is run it.

1619
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,560
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna damn was gonna break either for a

1620
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 1: game ending touchdown or for another five, ten, fifteen yards. Instead,

1621
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: he brings up Gonzalez and he misses the kick. But yeah,

1622
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: I was really surprised. So a good job by the

1623
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: Arizona defense for like Mark said, getting to Wilson in

1624
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 1: overtime and at the end of regulation and in general

1625
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: Seattle's offense, which has been so unstoppable. Uh, they end

1626
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: the game going punt punt interception. Uh that was not

1627
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: expected either, and the interception was crazy, Like they didn't

1628
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: really discuss that either. Because Isaiah Simmons, a top ten

1629
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: pick who's barely played this year. He played under five

1630
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 1: snaps tonight, and one of those snaps was that interception.

1631
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Because Arizona was so injured by the end, Russell Wilson

1632
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: just threw that to no one. There's no receivers anywhere

1633
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: remotely here. The pressure was coming and and they had

1634
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,639
Speaker 1: blitzed them advanced Joseph, give him, give him some credit

1635
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 1: for coming up with these crazy blitzes. And overtime they

1636
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: just cooked him up. Russ was cooked like he lost

1637
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 1: his mind a little bit. I I wrote that I

1638
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: don't want to go on too long, but this game

1639
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: was so insane. I just like wrote down. I was

1640
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: starting to, like, you know, right down like a top

1641
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: five plays from this game because this game was so incredible,

1642
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: and then it got longer and longer. Here are the

1643
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: things that this in no order, but here are things

1644
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: that happened in this game. Uh, Kyler Murray being cool

1645
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: enough to smile when he sees sees Hopkins one on

1646
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 1: one and then throw a touchdown to him. The three

1647
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson throws to lock it, We're all insane. The

1648
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: one hander to start the game was one of the

1649
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,879
Speaker 1: best catches of the year. The bomb touchdown was ridiculous,

1650
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: and the in the touchdown on fourth down to lock

1651
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: it was just like that two point conversion in the

1652
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship, that alone was amazing. That Kyler

1653
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: Murray scramble touchdown where he just you know, joked them

1654
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: out of their shorts was outrageous. The Kyler drive we

1655
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 1: mentioned to force overtime, Kingsbury's brain fire Simmons is uh interception.

1656
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: And then almost the biggest thing was I thought the

1657
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks one on a on a game winning touchdown and

1658
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: overtime that was over same game and you didn't even

1659
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: mention the Bens in Myowa unsportsmanlike conduct that took the

1660
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: field goal off the board and allowed Arizona to get

1661
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: the touchdown instead that then set up the game tying

1662
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 1: field goal at the end of regulation. I mean, that's

1663
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Seattle has been dancing with the devil all season, I

1664
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: think with their defense, and they've gotten away with it

1665
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: a couple of games. It finally came back to haunt

1666
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: them too. I think that's something to take out of

1667
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: this game as well, that they're gonna remain vulnerable, uh,

1668
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: even with a great Russell Wilson, as long as this

1669
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: defense cannot make stands. Yeah, you know, you bring the

1670
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Bens and Myowa thing is huge because we could point

1671
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: scapeboats out of a bunch of different people here. I

1672
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: mean we could we could go to Brian Schotheimer for

1673
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: calling not only did they go run, run, run, And

1674
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: you're fine with that, Greg, I was fine with that too.

1675
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: They called the same play three times. It was a

1676
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 1: stretched round of the right three times. Do you think

1677
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: the third time they might actually anticipate a little bit

1678
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 1: and try to shoot the gap, which is exactly what

1679
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: they did, stuffing him in the hole. I mean, Carlos

1680
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: hides on a guy who necessarily gets stuffed like that.

1681
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 1: They knew that was coming and and so you can

1682
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: point him as escapegoat to keep my oas escapegoat if

1683
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: you go down the line. But I think the one

1684
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: thing that really stands out to me about this entire

1685
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: game is centers on Kyler Murray and it centers on

1686
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the fact that he's been doing this like like scrambling

1687
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: for the touchdown for example. It's almost a near weekly thing. Now.

1688
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that he's I don't know

1689
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: if you would say added to his arsenal or whatever,

1690
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: but it's something that's helping their offense reach that next level.

1691
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 1: But what we haven't seen him do is do it

1692
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: in a position like tonight where he had to go

1693
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: down the field where you had to leave a drive

1694
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: lead a drive like that, and they had to execute

1695
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: on every single play. You found a way too. And

1696
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is really a turning

1697
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: point for them, but it's really encouraging because we had

1698
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: some high hopes for them. They kind of, you know,

1699
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: they hit a lall early in the season. They're coming

1700
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: on strong now and and it's it's a lot of fun. Well,

1701
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: we called it a doorway game on Thursday, and that's

1702
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: my word for it, because nick I thought the same

1703
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: thing about Cleveland facing like Pittsburgh, Like you go through

1704
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:12,760
Speaker 1: that doorway, you show that you can get through, then

1705
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: we think about you differently. And I think about that.

1706
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, I know that they beat Seattle last year,

1707
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: but that's last year. I mean this this after after

1708
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, a two or three weeks sort of semi

1709
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,759
Speaker 1: funk where I wasn't sure what to think about Arizona's offense.

1710
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: I come out of this completely different than This game

1711
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: also was a study in variance because how different football

1712
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 1: games can be. Like we talked about the Cardinal, the

1713
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Carolina New Orleans game had four teen possessions, seven each.

1714
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of unusual. This had possessions, I mean, and

1715
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 1: it looked like it's the point where if you were

1716
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 1: one of the lost Soul being asked to write the

1717
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 1: what we learned for this, I would have I would

1718
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: have like literally run out of the building at this

1719
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: point because I don't do well with those things. And

1720
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,600
Speaker 1: there was like seventy five different plot points. Please to

1721
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: Grant Gordon, who's writing this, thank you one of the
